Welcome BePro! I used to have an arcade where I would fix most of the games myself. So, I like electronics too. I don't have any kind of training in them other than repairing some very old video games. I couldn't do much for the newer ones though. They got to complex for me to keep up with.

Hi, My name is Eric, This is my 1st ford. Honestly I come from a GM Family but i bought this 84 f250 4x4 cheap. I think it was a good deal for what i got. No Rust, couple dents, runs good. Anyways, just figured I'd intrduce myself.

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I'll be on here more often once I fully recover from my bad wreck in my 93' Probe GT. I've had my F-150 for about 2 weeks now and I like the change from a car to truck more and more every day. (I love the fact that I tower over the little rice burners, especially when they make stupid moves on the road, lol).

That's how it starts.... poor innocent kid (ME) from GM FAMILY (dad was 30 years at Van Nuys CA plant) buys a FORD, gets disowned, taken in by wolves (US) and lives happily ever after. later in life he's able to be restored to his family after pulling his relatives out of a ditch with his tricked-out 4x4...
welcome to the wolf pack... Kind of a support group for gearheads. We don't get too techy in here... try to keep that to the techy side so others can share the pain of busted knuckles and boggled brains. but cut loose, have some fun and remember the new guy buys...

Thanks for the invite...glad to find a MO chapter.
Hi all,
Thanks for inviting me to the Missouri chapter forum. I'm very glad to find it. I'm somewhat new to 'big' trucks, and Fords in particular, and I'm sure I'll be pestering people with questions. Also I'm glad to help anyone who needs it, if I a able.
I live in St Louis city, the southwest part near Hampton and Chippewa. I own a '75 F600 box truck, with an FT 330 (MD), a New Process 435 4-speeed, single speed rear axle (90% sure it's a Rockwell), drum brakes, lots of rust. My goal right now is basically to keep this thing on the road. (In fact this is becoming a hot topic right now, because my reg expires in 4 days, and I just failed my MO inspection last week).
Anyways, glad to know you, thanks in advance for help and insight.
Mike

Hello all, I have been on FTE for a few days, and got the message to come over here. I have been on another site for about 6 months I guess, so some of you might have seen me there. ANyway. I live out in O'fallon MO.
Just noticed on here someone talking about Table Rock, and Kimberling City. I grew up in Baxter with my grandparents. Love it down there.

It is working, and welcome to FTE! This is the Missouri chapter, and our illustrious leader is kind of under the weather today, so I thought I'd chime in FOR him.
Take a look around, enjoy! We love to have fun around here, so kindly remember all of our "bickering" is in good fun, and this way we keep it under wraps and out of the techy forums, lol.
have a look around, and feel free to jump right in!
